Like the new sig by the way. Pretty much my thoughts on the "next-gen" consoles. Or is that now "current-gen" since they've been released?

I'm inclined to think of them as ridiculous, just because of the lack of backwards compatibility.

I guess theyīre technically current-gen but in a way still next-gen because of them being so new and as they havenīt completely replaced the old ones. Itīs always a shame when you buy new stuff and it ainīt backwards compatible. Iīd love to play Colin McRae 2005 on my Win7 64 but it just wonīt. And those tips online how to make it work doesnīt work for me.

Might as well leave 'em as next-gen until they stop making games for the current-gen. I just don't get why they couldn't make them backwards compatible, I'd bet good money though that they'll find a way to let you rebuy the old games to play on the new consoles.

Some people don't mind all of the things I mentioned but they're deal breakers for me.

The scenery is great though. Can't beat that view, although there are some great views here in Arkansas too. Nothing like that endless body of water though.

Yeah, Callidus and I talked about that last night. But I donīt recognize it as current-gen yet as it hasnīt fully replaced the old version (think 360 games only in store and no regular Xbox games).

I'm going to have to change my mind and call it current-gen. The first thing that springs to mind when I hear "Next Generation" is Star Trek. And the Xbox1 and PS4 have nothing on the USS Enterprise NCC1701-d.

And unlike the 360 and PS3, no sign of Patrick Stewart on them yet.

However, personally speaking, I much preferred the 1701-A, -B and -E more than the -D...The -C was that one from the Yesterday's Enterprise episode with the four nacelles wasn't it?...

No, I'm not a Trekkie... ...I just loves me spaceships...

I started with The Next Generation, so the Enterprise D will always be my favourite. I'm pretty sure the C didn't have four nacelles, they just looked a bit odd.

And that magazine with all the starships? Didn't much like the look of it. Besides, I've got nowhere to put them all.
